well, Jewlsey, you could go with the rent-a-players from the championship team, Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, etc or maybe one of those OPEN 'ROID FREAKS from the '93 pennant team (Daulton, Kruk, et. al)

that's the thing, all the names i think of were good for a year or two, or like Scott Rollen who gave us hope and then left, or Pat Burrel who gave us hope and then sucked.

all i got is Juan Samuel.

White Sox:

1) Frank Thomas (the best right handed hitter since Ted Williams)
2) Joe Jackson (Sketch, even his "worst" years were better than 99% of other players)
3) Ed Walsh (although ERA wasn't an official stat when he played, he would've had the lowest ERA of ALL TIME for a career and also went 40-15 one season)
4) Eddie Collins (3,000 hits, 25 years in the majors as a second baseman)
5) Nellie Fox

All his hard work, and Juan Dixon gets no love from the e-stone.

Also, what about Keith Booth, from Dunbar, which was one of Gary's first big local recruiting successes?

Find me a better season in baseball history (other than bonds 2001) than Frank Thomas had in the strike-shortened 1994 season. On August 16th, when the strike took place, he was on pace for the best offensive season in major league history with just 50 games to go. From 1991-1997, he was the only player in the history of major league baseball to record 7 seasons of a .300+ average, 100+ rbis, 24+homers, 100+runs, 100+walks. Find me a player with a better 7 year stretch than Frank Thomas had from 1991-1997.

Pujols? Talk to me when he's done it for 7 straight years. Rose? A singles hitter. The best singles hitter in history, but still, a singles hitter. Clemente? Average is similar, but no power, not nearly enough rbis per season and not nearly enough runs scored per season. He also struck out the same amount as Thomas and walked significantly less.


Edit: Sorry, it was 7 years, not 8. One year off.

dixon is a tough one to leave out, but i got to #5 and thought i had to give a nod to one of the old-schoolers. so many good ones...tom mcmillen, len elmore, albert king, buck williams....

Um, 2000? 43 Home Runs, .328 Average. Maybe you want to check out what he did last year before he got injured again too.

Nah, just yanking your chain. Personally, I'd give Dixon the nod over Francis, just on loyalty.
